Qlik Replicate added support for Databricks Unity Catalog using feature flag from 2022.11 SP02

SwathiPulagam — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 11:00:05 GMT

Beginning with version 2022.11 SP02, Qlik Replicate supports the Unity Catalog for Databricks endpoint. A feature flag needs to be enabled before the endpoint can be used.

Before enabling the feature flag, Qlik Replicate allows to browse databases under hive_metastore only. See fig 1.

To enable the Unity Catalog feature flag for the Databricks endpoint:

In your Qlik Replicate Web Console, go to your Databricks Target endpoint
Switch to the Advanced tab
Open More Options
Add the following feature name tag: UnityCatalog-DatabricksLHTarget
Enable the feature by switching it to On
Click OK so save the endpoint
Switch to the General tab
Locate the option Use Unity Catalog and enable it by checking the box. You can also disable it from here.
You can now browse the database under the catalog:

Hi Support,

One of my clients setup the settings exactly like this for his databricks delta endpoint. However upon searching for the catalog and database in the settings they are unable to find them. Typing the database and catalog name in also didn't work

Is there anything else to consider when setting this up maybe on the databricks side?

Kind regards,

Mohammed
